The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) is projected to outperform the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) due to its diversified portfolio construction. While SMH allows for heavy concentration in the largest players, SOXX limits its top five holdings to 8% each. This structure provides a hedge against the 'fever pitch' expectations currently surrounding the largest AI chipmakers.
